Morkie Puppies for Sale at Puppy Plus

This hybrid was originally called the Yorktese, but is now more commonly called the Morkie. The Morkie is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Yorkie and the Maltese.

The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

The Maltese Shih Tzu, also known as the Mal-Shi, Malti zu, and the Malt-Tzu, is a hybrid. One of the few “designer dogs” not originating with a Poodle, and therefore not one of the ubiquitous “Poo” or “Doodle” hybrids, the adaptable Maltese Shih Tzu is an adorable, sweet little guy with a long name. Created with the same goal as the Doodles–to be a small companion who doesn’t shed much and is therefore more appropriate for people with allergies–the Maltese Shih Tzu is a classic cross, a sweet lapdog who likes to play with the kids.

Originally bred to be completely nonshedding (which is a misnomer since that’s not physically possible), the Maltese succeeds to some degree, since he’s a low-shedding companion. However, the Maltese Shih Tzu is much more than that.

He’s intelligent and happy, making him a breeze–and a pleasure–to train. He does well as a therapy dog, and his wonderfully social nature makes him a great family pet. He’s good with children of all ages and with other dogs and pets.

This extrovert is gutsy and gregarious, and he loves people of any age group. The Maltese can be high-strung and snappy, but when crossed with the aloof Shih Tzu, you can get a friendly and outgoing dog who’s good with people. Like any dog, this cross needs to be socialized as a puppy and as an adult.

He also needs to be treated like a dog rather than like a baby or a stuffed animal who eats; that’s why most dogs this size become little tyrants. It’s not their nature so much as that they’re allowed to be brats–but if you treat your Maltese Shih Tzu like a real dog, he’ll act like a real dog. Make him walk, don’t carry him everywhere, and he’ll have the nice temperament he was meant to have.

The Maltese Shih Tzu may look like one either of the parent breeds, but he doesn’t usually have the Shih Tzu’s short nose and bulging eyes. A Maltese is prone to tearstaining, but the stains–while still there–can’t be seen as easily in this crossbreed, probably because the dogs aren’t pure white.

He’s an affectionate companion who loves being with his family. He’s not recommended for homes where he’d be left alone for long periods at a time, since he can suffer from separation anxiety, like most companion breeds.

The Maltese Shih Tzu can be active, but he can also adapt to quieter living. He requires some exercise each day through either a walk or a good play session in the yard. He loves being outside and although he makes an acceptable apartment resident, he does much better with a small yard to romp in.

The Maltese Shih Tzu can have respiratory problems, thanks to that flat-faced Shih Tzu heritage, so he’s best suited for homes with air-conditioning since heat can aggravate any problems. He shouldn’t be overexercised on hot and humid days.

The Maltese Shih Tzu has proven that he’s an adaptable, happy, and loving companion. He’s a wonderful choice for elderly people, first-time owners, or any dog fancier who wants a cheerful pal to fill the days with laughter and smiles.

Goldendoodle Puppies For Sale Parkland FL

The Goldendoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Golden Retriever and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Purpose:

The Goldendoodle is usually bred to be a family companion dog. It may suit families with mild dog allergies, if the puppy has inherited hair characteristics of its poodle parent.Some are bred for careers in service to humans as guide dog, therapy dogs, or other types of assistance dogs, especially for people with allergies.

A person may select a goldendoodle because he or she loves golden retrievers, but would prefer a dog that sheds less hair. Although not all goldendoodles exhibit the low shedding coat type of the Standard Poodle, some people with allergies may need a dog that does not shed. The standard goldendoodle may shed less than a golden retriever, but the degree of shedding will vary from dog to dog. Grooming requirements are as varied as coat types. A dog with a coat that sheds the least will require more regular grooming than one with a coat that sheds more often. While some breeders claim that the Goldendoodle is a hypoallergenic dog, there have been no studies to date verifying that any canine is completely hypoallergenic. If they inherit the characteristics from the golden retriever parent, goldendoodles can make good bird dogs.

Appearance:

Like any other cross-breed, the appearance of goldendoodles vary from individual to individual. Different dogs will display differences in size, coat type, and color. A goldendoodle’s size is generally somewhere between that of its poodle and the golden retriever brothers and parents. The ranges include standard, medium, and miniature(if the poodle parent was miniature). Some standard-sized goldendoodles have weighed over 100 pounds. Upon reaching adulthood, a standard goldendoodle will often weigh 45 pounds or more. A medium goldendoodle will weigh between 30 to 45 pounds and a miniature goldendoodle will weigh approximately 15 to 30 pounds. The standard in height at the shoulder for a male goldendoodle is about 24-26 inches. For females, it is 22-23 inches. Some goldendoodles can reach heights of 28-29 inches. Often, taller goldendoodles that inherit more from the golden retriever otherwise will be stockier and weigh substantially more. A stocky goldendoodle of said description may reach over 90 pounds. It is very common for the golden doodle to inherit the “golden retriever bump” on top of his/her head. Common colors include white, cream, apricot, gold, and red. Goldendoodles may also be black or a light sandy brown.

The Chihuahua is a tiny toy sized dog. The body is longer than it is tall. The head is well rounded, apple in shape and the muzzle is short and pointed with a well defined stop. Puppies have a soft spot on the top of the skull called a “molera”, which usually closes by adulthood. The large, round eyes are set well apart and are dark, ruby, and may be lighter in white dogs. The erect ears are large. Dewclaws may be removed. The tail is long, sickle-shaped, either curled over the back or to the side. The coat comes in both a short coat or a long, wavy or flat coat.

Size:

Height: 6-9 inches
Weight: 2-6 pounds

Living Conditions:

They are good little dogs for apartment life. The Chihuahua likes warm weather and dislikes the cold. They need space just like any other dog. Because they are small does not mean they can be kept in a vary small area.

Exercise:

Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about; these are active little dogs, who need a daily walk. Play can take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display a wide array of behavior problems, as well as neurotic issues. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard.

Grooming:

The smooth, short-haired coat should be gently brushed occasionally or simply wiped over with a damp cloth. The long coat should be brushed daily with a soft bristle brush. Bathe both types about once per month, taking care not to get water in the ears. Check the ears regularly and keep the nails trimmed. This breed is an average shedder.

Boston Terriers, also called the Boston bull, are compact and well-muscled dogs. The body is short with a square appearance. The square looking head is flat on the top and in proportion to the rest of the body. The deep, wide, short muzzle is in proportion with the head. The nose is black. The stop is well defined. The bite is either even or slightly undershot giving the muzzle the square look. The large, round dark eyes are wide-set. The erect ears are small and either cropped or left natural. The limbs are straight and muscular. The legs are set somewhat wide apart, and the chest is broad. The neck is slightly arched. The low-set, tapering tail is short and either straight or screw shaped and is never docked. The short, fine textured coat comes in seal, brindle and white, black and white and some are born brown & white.

Size

Living Conditions

Boston Terriers are good for apartment as well as country living. They are relatively inactive indoors and do okay without a yard. This breed is sensitive to weather extremes.

Exercise:

A long daily walk and sessions of free play in a fenced-in yard are all the Boston Terrier needs to stay in shape. They are fairly light weight and can easily be carried.

Grooming:

The smooth, short-haired coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush and bathe only when necessary. Wipe the face with a damp cloth every day and clean the prominent eyes carefully. Check both the ears and eyes for grass seeds. Ticks may also lurk in the ears. The nails should be clipped from time to time. This breed is an average shedder and does not have a strong doggie odor.

The Puggle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Beagle and the Pug. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Size:

Puggles tend to be between 15 and 30 pounds as an adult, and stand 10 to 15 inches at the shoulders. Puggles are similar in size to their parent breeds, the Pug and Beagle. Puggles can be considered lap dogs because of their relatively small size and demeanor. The head of a first generation Puggle can vary in size and shape. Some Puggles have larger, fuller heads, while others have thinner, smaller heads. Male Puggles are often larger and more muscular then female Puggles.

Care:

Puggles have an easy-care coat that is short and requires minimal grooming. It is advised to brush the coat weekly to remove excess, loose hair. A more frequent brushing can occur if you find excess hair on your clothes or furniture. Bathing can be kept to a minimum, usually once a month, to avoid dry, itchy skin.

A Puggle should have their teeth brushed to prevent the buildup of plaque over time. Puggles enjoy a brisk, 15-30 minute, daily walk. Walking is a great way to release energy that your Puggle has stored up. Puggles also love to have an area that they can run and play. A fenced in yard or frequent visits to a dog park can be both good for a Puggles’ mental and physical health. Regular vet checks and immunizations are necessary to keep you Puggle in good health.

Exercise:

Puggles have a good amount of energy and love to play. They enjoy going on long, brisk walks and running around in small, fenced in areas. It can be beneficial to a Puggles’ behavior to make sure they are getting enough exercise. Daily activity in the form of walk or play can prevent boredom and bad destructive behavior. Unlike Pugs, the Puggle has a longer snout and can handle more activity. Still take care in extreme weather, cold or hot, that it is not over done and they have plenty of water.

The way genes combine and express themselves is not necessarily within a breeder’s control, even less so when two breeds are crossed. That’s something to keep in mind before you lay down lots of money for a dog that you have been assured will be hypoallergenic or healthier than a purebred.

If ever there were a living, breathing, barking incarnation of cuteness, it is the Maltipoo. A mix of two of the more popular of small dog breeds, the Maltese and the Poodle, the dogs are small, clever, playful and affectionate. They’re also forever young, staying puppy-like well into their senior years. Those qualities have made the Maltipoo one of the more popular deliberate mixes.

A well-bred, well-raised Maltipoo should be friendly, people oriented, and easy to train and just a little bit of a mischief-maker. Be warned, however, that a Maltipoo from an irresponsible or inexperienced breeder can be a mess of the combined genetic problems of his ancestors, without the benefit of the kind of health and temperament testing done by good breeders. That can mean a snappy, noisy tyrant of a dog, nearly impossible to house train and with a wide variety of costly health problems.

Crossbred puppies like the Maltipoo’s even within the same litter can look very different from one another, and can look the same as or different from either of their parents. The Maltipoo is usually extremely small, but his size, color, coat type, temperament, activity level, and health risks will vary depending on what that individual puppy has inherited from his parents.

A Maltipoo is likely to be a bit of a barker, making him a good watchdog. Nip nuisance barking in the bud with gentle correction. And though he’ll probably like children and other dogs, you’ll need to protect him from excessive roughness from either.

Generally, Maltipoos weigh about 10 pounds and have a slightly scruffy coat, although it can also be curly like the Poodle’s coat. They can come in a variety of colors, but are often white or cream.
